Selective Antagonism of Opioid-Induced Ventilatory Depression by an Ampakine Molecule in Humans Without Loss of Opioid Analgesia

Abstract: Ventilatory depression is a significant risk associated with the use of opioids. We assessed whether opioid-induced ventilatory depression can be selectively antagonized by an ampakine without reduction of analgesia. In 16 healthy men, after a single oral dose of 1,500 mg of the ampakine CX717, a target concentration of 100 ng/ml alfentanil decreased the respiratory frequency by only 2.9 +/- 33.4% as compared with 25.6 +/- 27.9% during placebo coadministration (P < 0.01).Blood oxygenation and the ventilatory r… Show more

“…The ampakine used in this study, CX717, is metabolically stable, clinically safe, and effectively crosses the blood-brain barrier (11,14,47,48). CX717 has been used in both animal models (15,17,20) and clinical trials to alleviate respiratory depression due to opioids (14).…”

“…The ampakine used in this study, CX717, is metabolically stable, clinically safe, and effectively crosses the blood-brain barrier (11,14,47,48). CX717 has been used in both animal models (15,17,20) and clinical trials to alleviate respiratory depression due to opioids (14). CX717 does not directly antagonize opioid receptors, because, in both rats and humans, CX717 counteracts respiratory depression without influencing analgesia (15)(16)(17)20).…”

“…Whilst respiratory depression can be effectively treated by the opioid antagonists naloxone and naltrexone, analgesic efficacy is also reduced. Agents such as the a-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-proprionic acid (AMPA) receptor agonists (ampakines) and minocycline have been shown to suppress opioid-induced respiratory depression without affecting analgesic efficacy 81,82 . Serotonin (5-hydroxy tryptamine,5-HT) agonists, by virtue of the role of 5-HT neurones in the maintenance of respiratory drive, have also been evaluated for the suppression of opioid-induced respiratory depression, but not found to be effective 82 .…”

“…A depressão respiratória é um dos efeitos mais temidos durante o uso dos opioides (OERTEL et al, 2009) (GOZZANI, 1994). Em geral, a sedação, após uso de opioides, é vista como um problema, comumente, no início da terapia.…”
